The Song That Defied Expectations | Rock Music News

from Rock Music News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life,” featuring Paul McCoy, soared to number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the U.K. charts, fueled by its iconic “Daredevil” soundtrack placement. Lead singer Amy Lee feared it’d make them a one-hit wonder—so different from their usual sound it might trick fans. But McCoy, a longtime friend and collaborator, poured his soul into the track, and Amy even wrote the rap herself to make it perfect. Today, the video has hit one billion views and the song’s earned eleven-time platinum certification in the U.S. — proving that what you resist can become your biggest triumph. Now on tour for their new album “Sanctuary,” Evanescence’s journey from doubt to dominance is nothing short of legendary.
